Publisher's summary

The Little Mermaid meets Loki in this dark, twisted retelling that’s anything but a Fairy Tale. In this world, foes look like friends, the heroes are deliciously wicked, and you’ll never see the end coming.

Ten years ago, I "died", and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I should have known it wouldn't last.

Once my family thought I was dead I was finally free to live. Until the day my brother walks into my tiny book shop.

No one leaves the Grayling pack and gets away with it. They drag me back, but not for the reason I believe.

My mother has made an enemy of a powerful witch and I am to take the punishment meant for her. Death would have been kinder.

This curse? What I am now? It's so much worse than I could have imagined. She didn't just cut me off from my wolf, or even simply kill me. She made me a golden retriever and sent me to a shelter. I'm ready to die in truth now, I'm hoping for it even. And then my mate walks in...but how am I supposed to convince him I'm the strong partner he needs to help him stop the end of the world when I can’t stop wagging my freaking tail?

This Book IS Golden!!!!

Golden by Shannon Mayer is the 1st in a new world/series for This incredible author. I'm a big fan of Shannon Mayer's writing and this book was just another example of her amazing talent!

I admit that I was really curious as to how I'd like this odd telling. I mean a Werewolf turning into a Golden Retriever??!! That's a totally new direction if anything I'd read before....but, never fear! Shannon Mayer is here, and she will make those quirks work out brilliantly!!!! In no time I was totally engrossed and couldn't wait to see what happened next! This puppy (no offense to our Golden) had a lot of twists and turns, who's good, who's bad,what next?!! It's just a fantastic read and Any Landon was magnificent as the narrator. There were a lot of characters, very unusual characters that she had to differentiate voices, etc. for and she did such a great job! Loved everything about this book!! 22 Golden Stars! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

👏 Bravo

This new series is definitely going to be on my number one list. It kept me captivated from the start. I love Cin and her new sidekick. Amy Landon does a fantastic job bringing the characters alive. I highly recommend this audible book.

Right from the start, it grabbed me.

It’s not often that a story grabs me from the start. This one did it with the very first sentence! What a wild ride, with characters I loved, and characters I truly despised. It ended leaving me wanting MORE.

Magic, mayhem and lots of humor

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this book and the way the narrator brings the story to life! Cin definitely gets points for having the worst siblings ever and is on the run, from them, during this book. Will her brothers catch up to her? The characters are amazing and my favorite is Cin and Bebe just cracks me up! Who doesn’t love an awesome book that frequently has them laughing out loud? This action-packed story is full of danger, shape-shifters, vampires, magic, mystery, alphas, a curse, silver bullets, ghouls, betrayal, family, friends, pack, suspense, Norse, Ragnarök, battles, twists and turns and more!

Fantastic story and narrator!!!

I love this story and the narrator.That ending! I need more now. A little mermaid retelling with twists. Golden is a fast-paced read with endless twists and turns. I did not want it to end. I could not get enough of Cin and all her misadventures along the way. I love that Shannon always writes such strong and fierce women who have huge hearts. Cin is put through so much by her family but does not give up on making her own pack/family. Bebe is a great side kick from the start. I fell for Havoc immediately. He intrigues me, and I can't wait for more of him. Amy Landon is fantastic. She is a new narrator to me. I will definitely be listening to more of her stuff. Each character's voice is unique.
